Presented is the unusual opportunity to possess five limited edition copies of the book Dallas Cowboys/Our Story/The Authorized Pictorial History, with each numbered copy signed by one of the following: Tom Landry, Barry Switzer (2), Jerry Jones, or Roger Staubach. The book is a wonderful treat for football fans, especially fans of the Cowboys, but a non-Cowboys fan can certainly enjoy the great nostalgia of the offering. The book was written by Jeff Quinn and published by The Summit Publishing House (1996). The tome is copyrighted by the Dallas Cowboys (1996). The book's title promises photos, and there are photos galore, a mixture of color and black and white shots. The book's hundreds of photos cover every season from the team's birth as an expansion franchise in 1960 through the end of the 1995 campaign, which concluded with the Cowboys' victory in Super Bowl XXX against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Despite the book's title as a pictorial history, the offering's 222 pages contain a substantial amount of text that covers the games and personalities of the Cowboys' personnel and coaches through the years that are the subject of the book. The offering contains myriad detailed rosters, game descriptions, and thorough statistics. Special emphasis is given to each Cowboys' Super Bowl throughout 1960-1996. The book has a beautiful hard cover as well as a great hard cover storage sleeve. The five individually numbered copies and each book's limited-edition number follows: #16, signed by Cowboys owner Jerry Jones; #205, signed by Pro Football Hall of Famer Dallas quarterback Roger Staubach; #295, signed by Pro Football Hall of Fame Dallas coach Tom Landry; #380 & #430, each signed by former Dallas Cowboys coach Barry Switzer. Each of the offered books is numbered, by an unknown hand and signed by each signatory in neat script with a fine tip black marker. Each book measures 9.25x12.25". Each separate book weighs 5 lbs. 0.5 ounces, for a total weight of the five copies at 15 lbs. 2.5 ounces. The books are in Near Mint condition. Each book comes with a PSA sticker and a PSA/DNA COA.
